Why not label the ports and cables with:

10Gb/s
2.1Amps
1080p at 60hz

It's future proof and doesn't need a decoder manual other than basic literacy. It can be in whatever language the fucking keyboard is. If you want to be redundant but even more clear:

Universal Serial Bus -> (this hole right here)
Speed: 40Gb/s
Power: 2.4Amps
Audio/Video: 4K at 120Hz or 8K at 30Hz

Amps are not power

So do like they did for video and out 2A @ 5V. Now you have power.

But if its USB PD it can be more than 5V though.

[–] Silentiea@lemmy.blahaj.zone 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

That's why you specify it there:

2A@5-15V or something.
